 ceived st the Cunard steamship office
 in this city at late hour thls evening
 that the steamer Scythis, of the Gun
 ard line, had gone ashore in the break CTS at Scituste. some six miles from
 hinofs light, just before dusk tonight
 It was also reported that at the time of
 the disaster binding snow storm was
 prevailing, accompanied by & terrific
 gale, and that the sea was simply wild
 with fury. The Scythia has over 800
 persons on board, including passen-
 gers and crew, and from rumors which
 cannot be verified, because telegrahic communication with that station Is interrupted by storms, 1t is feared that there has been great loss of life.
 Wrecking companies have endesvored to send out tugs to the relief of the stranded ship. but the sea is SO ter rife that they could not live outside. They are waiting for the sea to sub side.

The report of the disaster has been confirmed by the police boat "Proctor." A tug, with a relief crew and reporters on board, will leave for the scene of the wreck as soon as it is safe to venture outside
